/**
 * The mapping in the Java&trade; programming language for the SQL <code>NCLOB</code> type. An SQL
 * <code>NCLOB</code> is a built-in type that stores a Character Large Object using the National
 * Character Set as a column value in a row of  a database table. <P>The <code>NClob</code>
 * interface extends the <code>Clob</code> interface which provides provides methods for getting the
 * length of an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value, for materializing a <code>NCLOB</code> value on the
 * client, and for searching for a substring or <code>NCLOB</code> object within a
 * <code>NCLOB</code> value. A <code>NClob</code> object, just like a <code>Clob</code> object, is
 * valid for the duration of the transaction in which it was created. Methods in the interfaces
 * {@link ResultSet}, {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as
 * <code>getNClob</code> and <code>setNClob</code> allow a programmer to access an SQL
 * <code>NCLOB</code> value.  In addition, this interface has methods for updating a
 * <code>NCLOB</code> value. <p> All methods on the <code>NClob</code> interface must be fully
 * implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.
